Who the Heck am I

Welcome to my blog, I ran out of storage space on my last blog so instead of purchasing more space I decided to start another.

Photographing is one of my biggest passions in life. I've been a photographer for 20+ years. Although I have sold some of my work I consider myself an advance amateur. Which means I'm pretty good at pretending to know what I am doing. I arrived from Massachusetts to Northern Kentucky September 16, 2001. I hated it, for months I complained about living here, besides all the redneck jokes I would get there was nothing about Northern Kentucky I enjoyed, when I got over myself I dusted off my camera and headed for the hills, literally, I never fully understood what a beautiful place this is until I was given my first digital camera as a Christmas gift. In all honesty you couldn't get me to move out of this state.

Living so near to Cincinnati (I live right across the river) no other city can offer me more. Art museums, Cincinnati Zoo, symphony, theatre, aquarium, amusement park, Dozens of parks, one of the largest and most amazing firework display in the country and so much more. If you are from the area you know what I am talking about, if you're not, believe me when I say In and Around Northern Kentucky is worth the visit.

I know you will want to check out my other blog, I have shot photographs at the Behringer-Crawford Museum, Cincinnati Museum Center, Cincinnati Zoo, Creation Museum, Eden Park, Findlay Market, Fountain, Square, Krohn Conservatory, Rabbit Hash, KY, Railway Museum, Smale Park, Spring Grove Cemetery and much more.

The Last Train to Clarksville


Okay, okay so the Monkey's were probably not referring to Clarksville, Oh when they wrote the song, it was where I was headed though.


 Arriving close to Clarksville I hit a traffic jam.
In my post from the other day I mentioned that I was going to go to Caesars Lake near Waynesville, Oh. It wasn't until I found out that the annual Sauerkraut Festival  (yes you read that correctly) was being held at the same time.Apparently this not a festival for just the locals, not hundreds but thousands of people show up for this festival, causing major traffic jams. I'm not that much of a people person to withstand that many people. I ended up at Cowan Lake which is SE of Clarksville






 I was floored by the amount of fisherman there.











 I found a nice spot to sit down and eat my lunch, yummy peanut butter and jelly sammich, chips and an ice cold bottle of water. Laugh if you want but I do make a mean sammich.

Okay so here is the deal with this photo, while heading back home I was only three miles from Lebanon so I thought what the heck lets walk around town. I love Lebanon, a little pricey but worth a visit. When I reached the center of town the main street was closed, something was going on, police with dogs were all over the place, large US flag and stage, my only thought was that Mitt Romney was in town.
